OVERVIEW

Your body has natural detoxification organs (e.g. lungs, liver, kidneys, etc.). Toxins enter your body from the outside world and also are internally created by your body through its natural processes. A good detoxification program is typically broken into 2 parts:

1. Reduce the amount of toxins entering your body from the outside.

2. Feed your body the foods/nutrients that help your detoxifying organs run most efficiently.

We have listed out these foods and given you some great recipe recommendations that use those foods.

OUR SCORING SYSTEM

For each health protocol, we assigned a score to each recipe and each ingredient. This helps you better understand the correlation that medical research is suggesting between foods and benefits to various health conditions. Our scoring system is based on REAL RESEARCH published on pubmed.gov. This is a website that curates over 25 million different biomedical journals.

What we consider when creating your scores:

EATING SCHEDULE

Maintenance Days

FAT LOSS DAYS

MAINTENANCE DAYS

Use a metabolic tester: Your gym or health coach might have one. This is a device that will measure your body’s resting metabolism rate (RMR). This is the most accurate way to determine your RMR.

Calculate as follows: Multiply your goal weight by 12.
Example: If my goal weight is 175 lbs, then I would take 175*12 = 2,100 calories.

I do not adjust the calorie guidance for exercise unless I am working with professional athletes, marathon runners, etc.
I encourage my patients to log all their food for a week in a calorie tracking app. Most people are shocked at how many calories they actually consume. Tracking calories with an app really helps my patients realize the amount of calories they are actually consuming and where those calories are coming from.
We always encourage drinking lots of water or lemon water. You can also drink black coffee or green tea. All off these things will help keep you full and stimulate your metabolism.

Making Adjustments:

If you are not losing weight at a fast enough pace for your goals, the calories per day number can be lowered. I start by lowering it 100 calories per day. I rarely need to lower the number by more than 500 calories per day. If someone has an inactive lifestyle, I may start by lowering the number by 200 calories.
What if I am an active athlete and want to lose at a slower pace? You may need to add 200 calories to this day.
Remember, this is a maintenance day, so we try to match your calorie intake to neutral on this day. The “Fat Loss Day” is when you create a calorie deficit to lose body fat.
